The novel is an event in consciousness. Our aim isn’t to copy actuality, but to modify and recreate our sense of it. The novelist is inviting the reader to watch a performance in his own brain.
George Buchanan
When I was young, I used to imagine that people going about their daily lives have these thought bubbles that actually float around as they interact with each other. The proper “chat” bubble would show up when they speak audibly and the cloud-like bubble when they are thinking to themselves. Thanks to one of the Filipino’s national past time: comics!
I firmly believe, as others do, that you are a reader first, a writer second. I am not a voracious reader but I have had my share of novels; from the Mills and Boons of my early teenage years to the more mainstream of this generation. My bookshelf is lined with works from James Patterson, Jeffrey Archer, J K Rowling, Dan Brown, Cecelia Ahern, Jodie Picoult among others. And of course, I have my knitting books too!
